Improving measurements of airborne noise from machinery used outdoors
In line with the Zero Pollution Action Plan, the Commission has adopted a delegated act to update the methods to measure airborne noise emitted by equipment used outdoors. The act will apply from 22 May 2025 and will allow for reliable up-to-date data to be gathered. This will help determine new noise limits for machines used outdoors, with the overall objective of limiting noise at source.
